    Food was pretty good. Ordered tuna sandwich and asked not to be blackened. It was blackened, fries for myself and another order were so salty the were not edible. Appetizers were great, and the other meals were very good. I keep coming back but they never hit it out of the park with a complete meal.

    Disappointing. The food -especially the fish & chips and the pistachio dessert felt like we were at Applebees. The presentation was amateurish. The sushi was fine but nothing was great except the brussel sprouts and the drinks. The drinks were the best part of the night. The prices are very expensive and disproportionate to what you actually get. We love Beach Tavern and hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

    Excellent food (steamers, lobster linguine) and service. However, the table assignment (for 2) is terrible. We reserved weeks in advance. Upon arrival, the reception lady claimed no window tables were available (while there were several). She put us in a corner table, as far as possible from the windows and “surrounded” us with a table of a family with 2 small kids and a table with a large, noisy group.

    The problems started with a very long wait for our drinks. Then there was a very long wait for the server to return with an explanation as to what the "barbecued swordfish" consisted of. When she finally came back and told me about the four things they dump on it, I was so grossed out just hearing it that I did not order it. Thank God I asked what they put on it! Their menu needs a LOT more explanation w/more details. The clam chowder was good, the only good thing I have to say about this place. I ordered linguini and clams, thinking that would be one thing they could not screw up. I was wrong. It was extremely bland. Pieces of clam were in shells and a few scattered through the pasta, but there seemed to have been no seasoning used. The cook had dumped a few raw cloves of garlic into the dish. Apparently the cook decided he or she had no time to chop up the garlic before cooking the dinner and then working it into the cooking process. So the cook just dumped the cloves in. I have never seen such laziness in cooking in my life. Apparently it was up to me to chop up the garlic and try to mash it into the food to try to give it some taste. Where was my chopping knife? Server offered to have the cook "fix it," but had no idea how that would be done. So I ordered a lobster roll hot with hot, melted butter. The food came without the butter. Another wait for the butter. I asked a busy boy and a different server to see the manager, who never showed up. Will never return to this poor excuse for a restaurant.
